HOSPITAL MIGUEL BOMBARDA


Hospital Miguel Bombarda, was a psychiatric hospital in Lisbon (it closed in 2011, and is now a museum). The building itself is a panopticon - an institutional building that allows a single watchman to observe all cells at once. Very creepy and fascinating concept...

YUJI TSUJI

Yuji Tsuji, a japanese outsider artist, loves to look down at a city from a tall building. When he comes home, he rebuilds what he remembers, and draws the rest from his imagination. He doesn't bother to use eraser. One drawing can take him 2-3 months to finish.

ART BRUT IN PARIS

The exhibition 'Banditi dell'arte' in Paris was surreal and captivating. Unfortunately you weren't allowed to photograph, but I just found some of the artists names, that I wrote down on a little note.
Here goes...
Francesco Nardi decorated doors, Marco Raugei repeated figures and Franco Belluci tied stuff together.
